Location

In Rabin Park, near a quarry outside of Beit Meir

Participants

Yerushalmi (talk)

Plans

At some convenient point today I'll take a bus to the general area, walk to the point, then walk back to the bus station and bus to Jerusalem.

Expedition

I took the 615/617 from Jerusalem to the bus stop on route 38, crossed 38 on a pedestrian footbridge, and walked into the forest. Using Geohash Droid as my map, I had no trouble navigating which paths I needed to take.

The hashpoint was inside the "elbow" of a path that went from west to east and then hooked to the north. I had to decide whether to go north from the west-east part or go west from the south-north part.

Screenshot 20230907 155347 Geohash Droid.jpg

Heading north from the west-east part looked too steep to attempt safely:

So I headed past to the elbow and turned north, saying hi as I passed some loggers who were working there. The descent into the valley from the east was far easier:

I got nervous as I approached the point that it might be in the middle of this impassible clump of trees:

20230906 151855.jpg

But it turned out to be a few meters away.

Walked back the way I came, took the bus back to Jerusalem. Bosh.
